    It including that it was to a bomb threat towards green implies an untrue association.

    Was the title technically accurate? Yes. Is it still click bait? I’d say yes. Cops kill people responding to (and no where near,) calls with a startling regularity.

    Some cop got up and yehawwed through traffic without the usual aids to make it safe. It happens. It’s almost never reported.

      A headline trying to get you to read an article!? The scandal of the century.

      It doesn’t imply that the motorist had any association with the crime. It barely implies that the two events are related and doesn’t even suggest that the police were involved in the killing.

      I wouldn’t concede the technically accurate part myself. That second paragraph really throws that into doubt.
